At http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.sqlobject I see one spam message in about every ten SQLObject message. A bit annoying but certainly far from "more spam than messages". > > On the other hand asking a hundred of people to resubscribe would be a > > real pain. > > very simple: > > * Anoounce that the group will move on day x > * create a google group. > * announce (on the list) that people should subscribe to the list > * switch to the google group > * remember to update gmane to get the google email What to do with people who will be more annoyed by the switch than by the spam? with people who will decide that the switch isn't worth the trouble and will leave the community? "Ignore" is not an option, IMO. > One of the most important points within development is: > > knowing when to stop. > > possibly this point is reached for SQLObject, not sure yet, see below. I am sure it is not. There is no a least reason to stop developing, and there are many reasons to continue: 1) there are many people who relies on SQLObject, it would be pity to disappoint them by abandoning the project; 2) I enjoy working on SQLObject; 3) I use SQLObject in free programs, our company uses it in a number of commercial programs, we are satisfied with SQLObject, no need to bother ourselves with switching. > May I suggest that you move over to google groups (= mailinglist with > good spamfilter, web-interface, search-functionality). You may. But the suggestion was not supported by the active majority. May be people don't feel the pain, especially comparing with the pain of switching. > Having an communication-resource again, I would the want to implement > the schema-evolution support (in cooperation with the existent people here).
